Beautiful candid moments rarely just happen on their own…

“Candid” is a big buzzword in family photography right now. But what does it actually mean?

When most people say they want candid photos, they’re usually talking about images that feel natural. Genuine laughter, real connection and moments that feel like them.

But here’s the thing…

Very few families know how to be “candid” in front of a camera (and they shouldn’t have to).

The best photos aren’t created by just standing back and hoping for magic.

They’re often sparked by a prompt, a game, a question or a little bit of guidance that helps genuine moments unfold naturally.

That’s why I like to arrive at sessions with a plan.

I start with a few photos of everyone looking at the camera and smiling, because they’re often the images that end up on the wall.

But once we’ve got those, the pressure is gone and everyone (parents) can relax.

That’s when the laughter, connection and beautifully imperfect moments tend to happen.

For me, it’s never been about choosing between posed or candid. It’s about creating a gallery that gives your family both.

Because one day you’ll treasure the photo where everyone is laughing…

And the one where everyone is looking at the camera smiling.

We met at mothers’ group when our babies were just two months old.

They were born only two days apart, and it’s been so lovely getting to know this little family over the last couple of years and to photograph them for the second time as they celebrate their little boy turning two.

There’s something really special about watching the babies from your mothers’ group grow up.

One minute you’re sitting in a circle with tiny newborns, wondering if you’ll ever sleep again, and the next you’re chasing toddlers around for family photos.

Becoming a mum feels a bit like joining one of the best clubs going around. You meet people you probably never would have crossed paths with otherwise, and suddenly you’re all navigating the same season of life together.

I’m so grateful that this job lets me capture little milestones like these along the way. 🤍

Quitting my day job late last year to go all in on this business was one of the biggest leaps I’ve ever taken.

I’ve loved spending more time with my daughter, but what I didn’t expect was how much it would change me creatively.

It’s given me the time and space to seek out new locations, thoughtfully curate pieces for my client wardrobe, chase ideas that spark something in me, and create images I’ve dreamed of making for a long time.

This session is a little reminder of that.

But these images don’t exist without the women who trust me enough to bring those ideas to life. Thank you for saying yes, for embracing the unexpected, and for allowing me to create something beautiful alongside you.

To every family and every woman who chooses to support this little business, thank you. Your trust gives me the opportunity to keep learning, growing and creating work that I genuinely love.

I never take for granted that I get to provide for my family while doing something that fills my cup creatively. I feel incredibly lucky, and I’m so excited for everything that’s still to come.

When I ask branding clients how they want people to feel when they see their photos, the answers are often more important than the photos themselves.

These two described their vision in six words:

Polished.
Capable.
Human-centric.
Joyful.
Kind.
Friendship.

After more than 20 years of friendship, they’ve taken the leap into business together and travelled to Tasmania for a few days of strategy, planning and dreaming about what’s next.

My job was to create imagery that felt aligned with who they are and how they want to show up in the world.

Professional, but approachable.

Confident, but warm.

Capable, but deeply human.

We started with polished portraits before exploring Hobart together, capturing a gallery filled with connection, laughter and the genuine friendship that sits at the heart of their business.

Because the best branding photos don’t just show what you do.

They show who you are.

And these two made that very easy. ✨

If you’ve been thinking about updating your own brand imagery, EOFY is the perfect time to invest in your business. Book and pay for your branding session before 30 June and we can schedule your shoot later in winter or spring. Plus, you’ll receive 10% off a Full Gallery Upgrade.

So many more gorgeous images to share from this creative session, but until then, I’m just gonna leave this one here.

Did you know that spring is one of the busiest seasons for babies, which means it's also one of the busiest seasons for maternity and newborn photography.

If you're expecting a little one in September or October, now is the perfect time to reach out and start planning your sessions.

Most of my clients book their maternity and newborn photography around the halfway point of their pregnancy, allowing us to secure dates well in advance and make sure everything is organised before those final busy weeks arrive.

I usually photograph maternity sessions between 32–36 weeks (ideally closer to 32–33 weeks during the cooler months to allow for reschedules), and newborn sessions are pencilled in based on your due date and adjusted once baby arrives.

If a spring baby is on the way, I'd love to help you document this season of life in a relaxed and stress-free way.
